The NBC Chicago commentator just said that the wheelchair race cameras will double back to cover the Americans after the wheelchair racers finish.

Citius Mag talking about Reid Buchanan pacing Hassan and Chepngetich:
Honestly, Reid might come away with a PR here, they're on sub-2:11:20 pace! lol

They have cameras on both male and female wheelchair competitors but none on the leading American men or women.
Well, they are just so obviously irrelevant.
People are complaining about wheelchair athletes and human interest stories, but let this blow your mind: the Americans in this race are a human interest story.
It would be like showing the side courts while the Wimbleton final is happening.
Get in the game if you want to be on TV.

Reid isn't planning to go the full way - is being paid for 30K (though with additional payments for going longer)

Pathetic, actually.
The best in the world are chasing the WR.
America's best are just trying to get into the Olympics.
Think about that.
Think about the fact that the "best in the world" here are doped to the gills. Less testing on the roads vs track, so much easier to get away with. Something Americans aren't quite able to do
Cope.

12 Americans on sub-2:10 pace through 15K. Obviously most of them won't sustain it but great to see so many going after it.

There are 13 Americans on sub 2:10 pace, with some at 2:07 pace, through 15k. If we have a couple finish 2:07, a couple finish 2:08, and a few more at 2:09, can we stop bashing American marathoning? I'm sure not all 13 will continue this pace, but it's reasonable that 6 or 7 will do it, with a few of them being 2:08 or faster. And that's to add to the list of a few others who ran 2:09 in the spring. So we're talking about 10+ Americans less than 9 minutes off the world record in the same year.
